I joined a class today with a friend that encouraged me to try the 7 days unlimited classes! I've done hot yoga before but in a more meditative way than a workout so I was a little nervous/ hesitant but figured I'd give it a go and I'm so glad I did! There are lots of locations but this one seemed the nicest and it's my friends' favorite. There is underground parking onsite which is free when validated which they do here. The space is SUPER clean and all the staff was really welcoming and friendly. They gave me a little tour and showed me the ways around and what was offered which was so appreciated. The women's locker area and bathroom was super nice and spacious as were the showers. I brought my own mat but they do provide mats and towels for a small fee. We chose the 4:30 Power class which was intermediate. We ended up with a substitute teacher Raea and she was great! I will say, it was a bit warmer than I've experienced in a hot yoga class before which was a little overwhelming at first but I started to adjust within 10 minutes. Anytime I needed to break I was able to comfortably and without judgement. The whole space is really judgement free and feels like a safe space type community which I loved. Our class was an hour and as expected I was soaked afterwards but ended up feeling rejuvenated. They offer complementary cold eucalyptus towels and there's water and an area to cool down after which we took advantage of. Not to mention they have really cute merch to buy! All in all, I would definitely come back and am excited to have joined this community! If you're considering starting hot yoga or looking for a new place, start here, you won't regret it! read more

There was a power outage and their heat wasn't working, instead of notifying us before class or cancelling it, they decided to have it anyways unheated without telling us until we got there. If I knew this I would have cancelled, since I do hot yoga instead of normal yoga cause I like the heated aspect?! This was a yin class and they kept saying Yin is traditionally done unheated as like some sort of consolation response,, okay true but again I signed up for HOT yoga. Again, just asking for some communication so guests can decide if they want to do the class or not. Also the instructor was Texting on her phone 80% of the class!! I was actually so shocked. Like I know since this was a yin class it was of course very slow and holding poses for a long period of time, but idk maybe I thought she would walk around, correct form? But no she was texting for most of the class. read more

Amazing first experience! Doing both one of there classes and hot yoga! I joined a friend of mine this past Thursday and I can see where his love for this place comes from. Starting with super sweet and friendly customer service from Hagar. Jordan checks me in and was sweet too. Also want to shout out the maintenance guy Elijah. He was also cool, helpful and has the entire place immaculate. For my class, Philip was our instructor. He was really good. I'd do his class again. But I'm looking forward to returning and trying both other types of classes and instructors. Overall, I definitely recommend it for a great sweat. Parking is offered which is of course great here in Los Angeles. read more

I'm so sad to even write this... yoga is supposed to be about aligning and connecting with your body and breath, among other things. My first and last experience at this location was FAR from ideal. I showed up Sep 28 at 9:15 am for the 26 & 2 class with Teresa (Tee) L. I used to teach yoga myself so I'm aware of movements and modifications I need to avoid/make for myself since I am healing from a L1 fracture. During the whole class the instructor kept calling me out and approaching me to say things like, "maybe this class is a bit much for you." I paid for a class to give myself a safe space to heal and restore with a good Bikram flow, not to feel inadequate to practice. I am keenly aware of my limitations so if I need to take more breaks, I will. I have not been able to practice in months and I'm easing my way back into a routine. I did also mention the injury to the instructor when she asked. At other locations I've had no issues but I have to be perfect to practice at Beverly Hills. I've tried BARE at Santa Monica since my injury and 26&2 in the South Bay and neither times were the teachers discouraging! Mind you, this was my first impression for this location and I can say I will never be back. There are other studios in my area that offer the same service for less to NO disrespect. The only thing that I liked about this location was that the parking was easy unlike the location at Santa Monica, if parking was complicated at BH they would genuinely get one star from me. read more

First, I want to make clear this review is solely about the corporate office, which has been taken over by greedy people who show zero integrity in running a business. The irony of them being in charge of a yoga business is not lost on me. As for any people thinking of joining this studio. You are and will be FINANCIAL PREY as long as you interact with this business. That said, the front desk staff and teachers and individual studio managers are amazing and deserve way more appreciation than they get, and maybe it's time for them to really think hard about that. The new people in corporate will lie, reneg on promises made, and make fraudulent charges with no hesitation in doing so. They agreed to a certain rate for my membership, and although it was never discussed or agreed upon, they downgraded my membership tier without ever disclosing it. I have emails that back this up. However, this isn't one instance. Since the new corporate team has moved in, I have had several charges added to my account that I didn't agree to, I've spoken to people who have experienced the same, and the corporate staff hide behind the people working at the front desk, leaving those workers to deal with clients angered about it because they are too cowardly to answer for their own actions. I cannot in good faith recommend this studio to anyone, and I've been a member since 2014 (which means nothing to them). The new corporate team came in only recently. I suggest everyone here vote with their dollars, which are becoming more and more precious in this economy. Stay conscious in who you offer your money to, and stay aligned with your personal integrity, because this studio has none, in my opinion. read more

Hot 8 Yoga - Receipt confirms I paid $2140 for annual executive membership. They claim i have a lower tier now. - Yoga Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Great studio to practice hot yoga but AVOID their "teacher trainings" at all costs; they are a scam. Other instructors voiced to me that the trainings are a racket before I did mine and I should have listened... They will give you a set sequence to memorize but teach you NOTHING about safety cues or anatomy.... They will try to then upsell "mentorship" for another $500... They often do NOT hire people from their own trainings. You will NOT be given the tools to be a sustainable yoga teacher. It's a literal MLM, given that instructors ARE incentivized to get people to sign up and earn commission. If you want to genuinely learn how to teach yoga, go elsewhere. read more

I love this location! First I enjoy the convenience of how close it is to me. I've been a member for some months now and gone around to different locations and I think it all comes down to is preference. The parking situation I don't mind. I believe its free for the first two hours and it's underground structure with valet attendants so I feel safe leaving it there and they're always super helpful. I don't know why it is but my parking ticket always get demagnetized so they have to manually let me out which I am sure is annoying for them. This studio has three rooms all decent size. Actually a bit bigger than the other studios... and again depending on the class and teacher i think that's the only difference. I also like the lobby area it's very spacious and enough enough space to catch your breath lol. Bathroom/showers I would say need a upgrade. Staff is always super friendly and teachers are amazing! Also love this location because of all the eye candy ;) read more

Hot 8 Yoga - Yoga Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Just finished a barre class at Hot 8 Wilshire and I'm drenched. The sweat is unreal every time. These classes always push me in the best way. Big thanks to the instructors who keep it challenging but fun. And yeah major shoutout to my girlfriend for making me go to these wouldn't have started without her but now I'm all in. Great energy, great workout. Definitely recommend!! read more

THE FLOORS ARE DISGUSTING!!!!! Get rid of the groves like flooring that has holes for dirt and grime to get into. The floor look and smell dirty. I can't go there anymore due to sanitation. They need new, FLAT, FLOORS. It's a hygiene issue. read more

What an outstanding power yoga class! The instructor mentioned the phrase "meditation in motion," and it really stuck with me. The class had such an intentional flow -- with a little fusion thrown in (yes to squat and curl!). Her energy was amazing. When I'm in town, this is absolutely my go-to. ‍ read more

I have been to All SoCal hot 8 locations and Beverly Hills is the best run location it probably is the most busy location as well, but the front desk is always helpful and they are very much on top of cleaning the studios and floors in between classes no moldy smells and no slipping on one floor. I was really impressed with my last visit not sure if there's been more training on taking care of the studio with staff but I noticed. Also the classes are filled with the cutest boys. read more

Hot 8 Yoga - The front entrance - Yoga Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

I've been coming to this studio for a while now and have genuinely enjoyed the community and the classes. It's been a grounding place for me--but lately, it's hard not to notice some disappointing changes. First and foremost, the recent price increase feels hard to justify. With higher rates, I expected at least a few improvements--instead, everything feels a bit more stretched than before. The front desk staff, though kind, always seem overwhelmed and pulled in too many directions. There's a visible lack of cohesion and warmth at check-in that wasn't there before. I've also picked up on a subtle but persistent dissatisfaction among some of the teachers. Whether it's offhand comments or their general tone, it seems like morale isn't high--and that energy does affect the experience. I come here for peace and presence, but it's tough when the people guiding you through class don't seem fully supported. Lastly, cleanliness has slipped. The once-pristine space now sometimes feels neglected--floors not as clean, bathrooms needing attention, and shared props that could use more regular sanitizing. I still value this studio, but the cracks are starting to show. I truly hope management is listening, because this place has potential--and a loyal following that deserves more. read more

Could not have wished for a better experience for my very first hot yoga class! The staff - and students - are absolutely exceptional. So sweet, kind and welcoming. Highly recommend. I I'll definitely be coming back. read more

I love coming to the studio and getting the warmest greeting by Madison (who now teaches Yin- go try her class!), Jack, or all the other lovely employees at the front desk. If you are a regular, the unlimited membership is great, because you can decide last minute to squeeze in a workout throughout your day. I have definitely noticed a difference in my body physically, but what I've benefit from a lot is also how strong I've mentally gone through a consistent practice. 26/2 is a 90 min class and the most challenging, you must try a class by master teacher, Francesca. SHE IS SIMPLY MAGICAL. Her class is so much more than yoga- it's an experience, it's therapy. She has a way of remembering every students name even if the class is filled to the brim. She will correct you or tell you if you're doing something good. She is really the person that made me fall in love with hot yoga-Definitely stop by and try her class while you still can. I also like how strict Ken's 26/2 class is too. My favorite cardio class would have to be sculpt, you have to try a class by Cierra, she always brings the best energy. I love how challenging Lala's class, but she literally teaches it once a week, I wish she was on the schedule more. Yilin's class is fun too. The barre class is a good cardio workout too, good if you don't want something that's not as intense as sculpt. I do power or hot power fusion when I want to sweat, but couldn't find time for 26/2. They're a good way to squeeze in the workout especially if you're not feeling up to something as intense as 26/2. Yin is the underdog of all classes. It's impossible for me to stretch on my own for an hour, these classes have become so crucial to my body's recovery. It pains me not to give this location a perfect star, but these are things that I would like to see improvements in . 1) this is my biggest concern- the weights and yoga blocks do not get sanitized. I know there are wipes in the room, but there has been so much sweat that has seeped through, especially the weights, that has caused them to rust, you cannot clean those at this point. They have to start leaving a cart where can put used equipment in, and start sanitizing them like they do the yoga mats and towels after each class. 2) the rooms do smell. I don't know if it's all the sweat that's seeped into the floor mats or what, but sometimes I will go to a morning class and still smell it, so it doesn't really matter what time of day it is. I wish there was a different type of floor where they can clean thoroughly. 3) they took out the 12 o'clock Yin classes which forces me to do night workouts even though I prefer the AM time slots on my days off. Poopack used to teach the best Yin class (against the wall) at 12 and I am so bummed they took that away. 4) I wish there were later classes on Friday, Saturday, Sundays to accommodate people that work on the weekends. I do other fitness classes outside of hot 8, there's still enough of a variety that keeps me coming back. The staff are all nice and friendly- I love working out here! read more

Great price for unlimited week trial. classes were fun and instructors were knowledgable. Studio was clean. Will come back when I am in town

terrible customer service at this location. staff is very rude and unhelpful. I would stay away and find a better studio.

I love this studio. I love the staff. It has taken me a long time to find my workout routine after moving to LA. Hot8 has become an integral part of not only my physical well-being, but also emotional and mental well-being. I love the classes and obviously obviously have my favorite teachers. Facility is clean and well kept. That's gonna be difficult to do in a yoga studio that is focused on heat and humidity. read more

Such a great studio! Clean, cute, and has the best equipment. Even has an outdoor area. The staff is friendly and so helpful. This was my first time trying Pilates and I did a private session with Altara and she was INCREDIBLE! I had an intense workout and she really taught me what to do. She corrected my form and made sure I was doing everything correctly and pushed me to the limit in a good way! Best instructor I've ever had. Will definitely work with her again. She is so adorable and sweet, but at the same time will make you tough :) you should book her ASAP! Also Rogelio working front desk was so nice and funny!! Highly recommend!!!! read more

we were running late (la traffic ), we tried calling like 10 times, nobody answers phone. we make it 4 minutes late, our friends are inside and bought our mats and set them up for us. the front desk wouldn't let us in -.- . very rude. not very yoga! read more

I had a chance to visit the Beverly Hills location. There's a bit of construction nearby so I nearly missed the location. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I tried a Power class and I can tell the instructor was experienced in yoga. She was walking around but wasn't really engaging or cognizant of newcomers. Showers and locker area were really small. Random but I bought a coconut water and they stored my card info without permission. I thought that was a bit weird. read more

I really wanted to love this place but the smell is a huge turn off. The floor made from material that absorbs all the sweat and hence the smell. read more

Very clean studio that smells like a nice spa sauna. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The classes are fun and I always feel better after going! read more

Clean studio, great instructors. You won't find a better studio in all of California. I've been attending since 2013, first in LA then in the Bay. Ownership really made a significant investment in the studio, its instructors and the quality of service. read more

Hot 8 Yoga is always a pleasure to visit--everyone is so friendly and welcoming. The studio is exceptionally clean, creating a peaceful and comfortable environment. Each instructor has their own unique style, which keeps the classes exciting, challenging, and never repetitive. read more

I've been coming here for a while and just wanted to jump on here to bring attention to a miracle that happened. I'm so thankful for Bailor, a staff member who works at the front desk. After class, I opened my locker to grab something, and left it unlocked while I took a shower. During my shower, one of the students accidentally took my shirt, keys, and parking ticket and put it in their backpack and left the gym with it. After I got out of the shower, I realized this stuff was missing and went to the front desk to let them know. I felt helpless, because my phones and wallet were locked in my car. Bailor helped me look everywhere for my stuff and when we couldn't find it, she immediately started calling every student from class to ask if they had accidentally taken my things. About 10 calls in, she finally found the person that took them and he came back to return the items. I feel so blessed that Bailor stayed positive and was persistent and cared enough to help me find my stuff. This could have been so much worse, but because of her help, everything was worked out in less than an hour. Thank God for Bailor, she is a real life angel! read more

HORRIBLE SMELL IN STUDIOS. Smells moldy, dank, and not healthy or safe. Many of us have raised for management but they don't seem concerned to do anything. Will be avoiding this studio. read more

Seems like quite a few people based on reviews have experienced a lot of drama here, but I've found it to be a wonderful facility. Modern, clean, and relaxing. I will say, most of the classes are really hard and VERY hot, but I've kind of become addicted to it. The instructors have been great as well. read more

Love this location and the clientele is great and parking is easy! Some classes get full but usually very easy to drop in. Clean and pleasant. read more

It's very unfortunate to have to post this - I always leave class feeling accomplished - however, I was robbed here along with my friend and one other known class goer. I left my bag in the cubi, thinking a yoga studio is a place for piece of mind, but after class I was shockingly disturbed to find that I had been robbed. The thief had carefully gone through my wallet and bag to make sure it wasn't quickly apparent of what had been done. Fortunately my Amex and Chase accounts alerted me to the purchases trying to be made at apple store century city of about $1,3500. Not to mention the roughly 400$ cash missing from my bag that was meant to pay for a health bill. To the person who stole from me, fuck you. To the company that didn't notice this happening, really?? Sadly never coming back to this location. Not sure who was involved here, but duck all of you. read more

Super sexy location here decided to come only because it is geographically close to my work. I decided to take two morning classes before work started and I absolutely love how cool I was welcomed by Ram and another sweet guy, both who absolutely look fabulous and I am glad encouraged me to take both classes back to back. I ended up taking a rigorous barre class and usually power through but needed some breaks and water. After that, I took the Halloween class which was seriously packed and opposite the vibe I go for. It was also challenging and helped me define my sexy back and legs by doing a lot of vinyasa flow so I am glad I did as much as I could. read more

I found this place because they had a great one week deal! I went every single day and enjoyed every level of class. Everything from the eucalyptus cold towels to the service to the room cleanliness and environment. I've had different levels of classes and each instructor was phenomenal. Because I'm moving in and out of the city often I'm debating on getting a membership! But again if I was a permanent LA resident I would be here everyday if I could. read more

Of all the yoga studios I've been to in LA, this location is my all-time favorite. The studio is clean, the staff is helpful, and the classes are amazing. There are so many great instructors, but here are some of my favorite: Soha: Such a good Barre class in the early morning on Monday and Wednesday. She also has an Monday evening Sculpt class that's great. All her classes are pretty popular so I'd recommend either signing up ahead of time online or getting in early to beat the guest list. Clarissa: Love her early morning Sculpt classes on Tuesday and Thursday. She has such good energy that keeps me pumped up for the rest of the day. Dakota: Amazing Power class on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. I really like how he has you focusing on your breath throughout the whole class. It's really helped me center myself. John: I've only taken his Saturday morning Power class once, but I really liked it. Another pretty crowded class so plan ahead if you're trying to catch this one. Parking: 2-hour free parking with validation read more

I've been a member of Hot 8 BH for the past 8 years and I've always appreciated the high caliber of teachers until recently. See the below post about John SJ on 12/22. This instructor also did this to me. I didn't officially complain but we did have an altercation in the lobby so employees did see - and did nothing. Which I wasn't surprised by because I already had filed a complaint about another teacher for different reasons (racism related) and I was told the same thing as this student - we need to wait for more complaints. HR at this studio needs to get this shit together. How many complaints are enough? And if you need multiple complaints, make that publicly known instead of gaslighting your paying members like this. Put up a complaint box, put up signs in the bathrooms letting people know they can email. It is not okay to hire people who harass your paying members. By the way, as I result of these situations, I have stopped going to Hot 8 BH as well. To the anonymous person who spoke up, thank you. read more

I had a phenomenal 1st time Hot 8 Yoga workout with Yoga Director Christina!! She is one of the best instructors I've ever had the pleasure to work with.

Hot 8 Yoga - Hot 8 Yoga - Yoga Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

This place has unfortunately gone down hill over the past few years. Classes are inconsistent in terms of heat/quality of instruction etc. On quite a few occasions the class has become dangerously hot to where half of us have to take a break and the instructor doesn't turn it down or even open the door. Management also is non-responsive and doesn't seem to care about the clients despite the fact that we pay a premium to attend these classes. Security issues are also very alarming? People were robbed while they were in class and the owners did nothing.... read more

A friend introduced me to Hot8 Yoga studios current promotion which was only $40 for unlimited classes at Santa Monica or the Beverly Hills location! Score! Talk about a DEAL!!! I initially signed up at the Beverly Hills location but I found myself going to the Santa Monica location every weekend. Making a day after yoga for shopping or going to the beach. There is a complete different vibe at the Santa Monica location versus Beverly Hills, from the clientele to yoga instructors. The Beverly Hills location is larger than SM without a doubt with one extra yoga room, far larger retail section, and a sit in juice bar which is great for waiting for classes to start. I like the bathroom here better. I also found the front desk staff in Santa Monica to be more upbeat, kind, and helpful. The greetings and goodbyes just didn't feel authentic here. However, the yoga instructors are great, I loved them all. I loved Hot Fusion and the Barre Burn class with weights! This location worked best for me as I live and work in the area so I came here 90% of my trial. During my 30 days unlimited I fell in love with Hot yoga all over again and completely neglected my $215 monthly membership to equinox going 27 days out of the 30 to Hot8 Yoga. They have more than Yoga classes such as a few classes that involved weights for a 100% guaranteed sweat drippin ass kickin!!! Let's talk results!!! During those 27 consecutive days I became extra limber. There's just something amazing that happens when you stretch in a heated room. The detox process, sweating all the toxins out! Talk about glowing skin!!! I saw great results in my body and really leaned out. 22 years of playing soccer my right knee is a bit messed up and becomes achy at times. On day 5 I had no pain and other areas of my body that would occasionally become sore were no longer!!! I also got the most amazing sleep every night that I did Hot8 yoga and trust me this is huge as I have suffered from insomnia terribly this past year. Amen!!! On the 28th day of my membership, I travelled to Hawaii for 7 weeks and within 1 week my achy body areas returned and by week 3 I became restless again at night. My body had gotten so use to this routine that it punished me for stopping abruptly. Apparently my body didn't know I was on vacation! Lol I am considering closing my gym account and committing to hot yoga for my fitness of choice, but for now I'm steering clear of paying $140 a month(one location)and $170(both locations)for Hot8 yoga dues as I can't possibly go consecutively as I had when I did the unlimited month as my schedule has completely changed. So for just $25 dollars I can pick a class at my convenience and not be wasteful. Thank you Hot8 Yoga for everything! You guys rock!!! read more

I loved this studio for years but now the front desk staff and the teachers are so hit or miss. Same with the room temperature. If you find an amazing teacher this place can be great but now I'd really love to find a better alternative. Pros are I really love the fusion sequence. Some teachers though don't follow it fully and have music/lighting/ heat I really don't like. read more
